No, sorry but I don't buy that line of thinking at all - everybody has their crosses to bear (no Christian metaphor intended) - menstruation is just one that most women have to deal with (how effectively they deal with it varies enormously). I'm sure it can also be a larger issue for some than others as it would be compounded by any related issues such as mental health.

Besides, Hillary is 60 years old, so I would think she'd have to be past that problem by now.
